You also need your attention to pull it out.

So remember we were talking about the flashlight in your dinner meal?

You have to have clarity of directing it to call up the right thing.

So it is on both ends of that.

And frankly, there's another thing to think about, which is that, what did you call it, myelin?

So yes, it ends up that long-term memory is a structural change within the brain.

It actually becomes like fixed hard in terms of neural connections that occur.

That process is helped by having clarity of mind and actually just kind of to really tie the loose ends of this conversation together.

Current models suggest maybe that's where all this mind wandering is actually happening.

It may be a memory encoding process.

The reason the brain pumps out thoughts isn't because it's just trying to mess with us, it's because that's the way episodic memory encoding happens.

It's a replay button that just happens by default and as it keeps replaying, things kind of harden into

long-term memory.

I certainly don't want it to feel like some kind of like test of your attentional capabilities at all.

Because frankly, all of the work that I do comes from my own journey with attention.

It doesn't matter how much expertise I have.

It doesn't matter how much I study this.

The notion of having a crisis of attention or feeling scattered every now and then is part of the human experience.

So please don't feel that.

Oh yeah, absolutely.
